How to move selection by 1 unit with the keyboard?
Now I only do it on Movement panel by mouse, would I do it by keyboard (eg. left arrow key) ?

Use the Ctrl key modifier + cursor keys left/right up/down.
The shortcuts do not seem to be documented in Help Contours.

Press Ctrl + cursor key to move it by one unit; press Shift + cursor key to move it by 100 units; press the cursor keys to move it by 10 units.
